In-game trade

Revision as of 02:23, 13 October 2007 by System Error (talk | contribs) (→‎[[Generation II]]: It's been four or five years since I've played a Generation II game, so I can't remember much about their nicknames. I *think* these are right.)

There are a variety of trades that can be made with trainers within the Pokémon games. These are usually for Pokémon that are difficult to obtain, a rarity at the point the trainer is reachable, or for Pokémon that can only be obtained through trading. All Pokémon received from an in-game trade will be at the same level as the Pokémon sent.
